He could either keep his career track position in production or choose acting by accepting a three month "extra" role on Remember the Titans. Let's just say Tyreese Burnett now has a plethora of projects under his belt as a movie actor, voice over actor and producer, including portraying an assistant coach in Drumline.

Favorite words:  Maya Angelou's "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."
